(4) YA Social Critics and Reformers series. This history-rich biography profiles Walker, who faced unrelenting sexism as a doctor for the Union army during the Civil War. After the war, she became the first woman to earn the Congressional Medal of Honor. Joinson skimps on character-illuminating details--where Walker lived, who her friends were--but is generous with anecdotes. Archival photos and color reproductions appear throughout. Timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
